    When Thatcher was in power, and I was in Paris, an American youth heard my English accent in the local post office and started shouting abuse at me because he hated Thatcher. You remind me of him.

    By the way, what would you do with deserters from the Russian army in Ukraine? Or worse, mutineers?

    And I presume you would have joined in the Stalinist attacks on the SPGB during WW2, and called us Nazis.

    No state goes to war to “stop Nazism” – not Putin, and not Russia or Britain in WW2. States go to war over sources of mineral wealth, strategic and trade routes. You are a fool to think states fight over ideology. You do not understand capitalism.

    I am proud to be a member of the only party that consistently refuses to support all war.

    Our hands are clean. You bloody yours by supporting Putin’s slaughter in Ukraine. Even if it was provoked by the Western powers. It is provocation of a capitalist state by other capitalist states. We shun it as mass murder, whatever the colour of the flag.

    I don’t have a military. And, unlike you, I don’t support any military.

    A Nazi is what you sound like to me.
    “Infested” – a favourite word of the Nazis in designating people.

    What further proof is needed that Antifascists and Fascists are the same thing?

    So, the workers of Ukraine are “Nazis”, to be bombed? Just because they live in this town or that, with their families, or alone. Old men and women, children, with pets; they could be against the Kiev regime, or just want to live in peace. But you cry “Nazis!” no matter who they are, and praise the bombing.

    One thing for sure, for every actual Nazi you kill, there’ll be a hundred innocent people dying, losing those they care for, losing everything, while Putin and Zelensky cry war.

    Damn your pro-capitalist, murderous crap!

    Charles … Not a popular royal name to the bourgeoisie!

    I am reminded of a Mitchell and Webb skit, where one Nazi asks another: “Are we the bad guys?”

    “If anyone expects me to express anything but disdain for the monarch who supervised a government that sponsored the genocide that massacred and displaced half my family and the consequences of which those alive today are still trying to overcome, you can keep wishing upon a star,” Obianuju Anya, an associate professor of second language acquisition at Carnegie Mellon University, tweeted Thursday afternoon.

    So you’re a Russian nationalist, Scotsman. You’re certainly no socialist. You think it justified to murder workers in the interest of Russian capitalist aims, just as the NATO bosses think it ok in the interest of US capitalism.

    The American bumblebee population alone has plummeted by 89% in the last two decades, nearly vanishing from eight states already.

    Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming allow some of the most vicious murdering methods of gray wolves. It’s completely legal to choke gray wolves to death with painful snares, maim and mangle their helpless bodies with traps, chase them down with helicopters until they’re so weak and tired they cannot run, and hunters can even blow up wolves in their homes, including nursing mothers and their pups, while seeking refuge in their dens.

    And, of historians and professors, how many are socialists?
    Bear in mind too that, although I am the elitist, you expect socialism to come about thanks to historians (academics).

    At university the professors lumped the SPGB with the leftists as immature and extremist.

    My adverts for SPGB meetings, rejected and ridiculed by the student union paper, were published instead in the Church of England university chaplain’s circular.

    You’re obviously circulating with like-minded people.
    Those I meet think Chaucer was 1800s, the American Civil War 1920s, and that early humans hunted dinosaurs.

    So the historians are going to make socialism, are they?

    Most people have no idea of the English Civil War or Age of Enlightenment, and don’t know what a bourgeois is. “Something foreign?”
